ADDITIONAL REVIEWS:

"These poems are whispered in the back pew of some massive cathedral where Stevens and Stein are saying benedictions. But sitting in the back row isn't just an act of humility: back here you can have a little fun at the priest's expense. It is that combination of devout parishioner and irreverent jester that makes these poems breathe."--Dan Chiasson, Poetry

"In Coetzee's artful translations, these poems suggest the power of the half-known."--Robert Pinsky, Washington Post Book World
